OUR MISSION
New Starts belief is that by taking control of the choices that control their lives, people with developmental disabilities can better direct their future. This includes where and with whom they live, where they work, and how they spend their time and resources.

We believe through encouragement, support, and Person Centered Planning, that consumers can maximize their own choices so as to enjoy a greater quality of life. As support staff, every day is different, and each day you can make a difference.
